@SarahLongwell25 And the New Yorkers! He has effed so many people over the years that no one will do business with him here anymore. We still can’t quite believe that the rest of the US thought TV-Trump was real and voted for it, some of them three times.

Long past time.

@thepwhlofficial Thank you, but does that mean trans women can play in the PW? I had thought you were more about trans invisibility. This is what has kept me from following your teams up to now.

Today we celebrate Transgender Day of Visibility and the trans and non-binary individuals across our communities.

@MaryLTrump Hi, I have a question you’re uniquely well-positioned to answer: are these periodic public self-owns by your uncle, dunking on himself and his supporters, attempts at humor? I’ve never seen him laugh, exactly. Or tell a joke that lands. Thank you for the work you do. Take care.

Donald actually told the truth for a change, admitting that he hangs out with losers because it makes him feel better about being a loser himself. Sad :(

@McFaul Yes. But also I think these are attempts at humor by someone who never really laughs.

Such a remarkable admission.

@TheRickWilson These little instances of merciless self-insight on his part are genuinely scary.

He said it.

@admcrlsn I for one wish to make clear that I still wasn’t even sure who Hasan Piker was until about ten minutes ago, since I wasn’t about to look it up online (ex-proofreader—>very high bar=less time spent chasing data). But Mallory McMorrow is a personal hero to me, I trust her.

1) I think people in this online echo chamber majorly overestimate how much normal people/Michiganders know and care about Hasan Piker. 2) I’ve had major issues with some things he’s said, but IMO he’s not in the same realm as Nick Fuentes. 3) This pivot from McMorrow seems like a strategic bet that Stevens voters are more gettable than El-Sayed voters, and maybe that more undecideds are deciding between McMorrow and Stevens. And that she was never going to outflank Abdul on being progressive or on Israel-Gaza — essentially conceding the left lane and trying to chart a Goldilocks path to the nomination. 4) Whether intentional or not, I think this will make it more likely that AIPAC will turn their fire on El-Sayed alone, rather than both McMorrow and El-Sayed (which seemed to be their plan before).

Every single competitor in women’s sports is harmed by the IOC’s depraved new (profoundly anti-trans) policy, explains @TheChrisMosier.

@acoyne I knew it. That his war would founder on the rocks of his attention span.

This is what counts in the reality-show presidency.

@mike_stag @JeremyBloom @Microinteracti1 Would “recently” work better for you? It was there for decades, the only helium well & storage in the US, now finally there’s a helium crisis, ffs, and it’s gone. You say “2 years” as if it were a long time ago.

@JeremyBloom @Microinteracti1 Why do you say “just” sold off? Did you bother to read the article you posted…an article 2 years old?

The head of Europe’s central bank just said financial markets don’t understand what they’re in for. This is Christine Lagarde saying the damage is already done. Most people have absolutely no idea. Here is what she actually said. Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz. That chokepoint carries 20% of the world’s oil and gas. Markets shrugged. Investors assumed it would blow over. Lagarde told The Economist that technical experts are not talking about months for recovery. They are talking about years. Helium travels through the Strait of Hormuz. Helium is not a balloon gas. It is the invisible ingredient inside every advanced microchip on earth. Qatar supplies 35% of the world’s commercial helium. Qatar’s facilities have gone dark. Spot prices have surged past $450 per thousand cubic feet. Most chip fabricators carry less than three months of inventory. The world is building AI data centers at record speed. The raw material that makes the chips possible is now scarce. Meanwhile Brent crude has hit $99. Earlier spikes passed $120. US gasoline is up 30%. Iraq cut 1.5 million barrels a day. Saudi Arabia paused its largest refinery. Europe is heading into this with gas storage at 30% capacity. And the ECB is not cutting rates to soften the blow. It is considering hiking them to fight inflation. Slow economy. Rising prices. Tighter money. All at once. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@JeremyBloom @Microinteracti1 Just in time. I cannot effing believe this, because I’m from Texas and knew about the helium all along. They mentioned it in school 50 years ago. I thought it was cool. Wondered when it would come up. When do we sell the US Stupidity Reserve?

@Microinteracti1 Good thing we just sold off the US Helium Reserve nbcnews.com/health/health-…

@lyndonbajohnson Lyndon, after he schmoozed Potus by talking the man’s ancient bête noir/love language, zoning reform, I decided he’s a goddamn political genius. Check out his video where he goes around Gracie Mansion finding hidden savings everywhere, it’s great: youtube.com/watch?v=T6s4N2…

Talented politician.

@nick_field90 “The people have spoken—the bastards!” —Some Guy

There's only so much that can be done when the people want performative masculinity x.com/EmersonPolling…

@atrupar This is ludicrous.

Q: Yesterday the president mentioned a very 'big present' Iranians gave the US. Was it that ship that was carrying 2 millions barrels of oil that made it through the Strait of Hormuz? LEAVITT: I'll let the president speak on that at the appropriate time

@atrupar You ungrateful little bastards.

Q: In my reporting, I speak to young voters, many of whom voted for Trump for the first time in 2024 hoping to have no more wars and lower prices. With the war and gas prices going up, what's Trump's message to those voters? LEAVITT: President Trump is doing this for you. He's doing this for young people

@jmart I’m still working on Dems’ warning to Newsom, the “Don’t eff. with transfolks!” part is running long. But thank you.

It's not hard, whole show is here. Dive in youtube.com/watch?v=gzOJFW…

He never said the “proud zionist” part, stop pushing out made-up quotes @AFpost

@samstein @JohnAvlon Although a Mamdani text is 💯% the sort of thing he’d arrange to have seen on his phone.

@samstein @JohnAvlon All I can make out is “Messages” at the top, based on knowing it’s there on an iphone. I’d need better resolution for the rest.

Newsom, in an interview with @JohnAvlon, flashes his phone and though it's blurry, it does appear that "Mamdani" is the first unread message. See if you can spot it here thebulwark.com/p/newsom-trump…

@NYCMayor @ZohranKMamdani @CMShaunAbreu That’s my mayor!

This morning, I visited 1727 Amsterdam Ave, a site I hope will soon become 200 affordable and supportive homes and a community center. Grateful for @CMShaunAbreu’s partnership on this critical project.

@kurtbardella @GhostMollyIvins @jamestalarico I wish Molly was still around for this. I just wish she was still around, period.

They’re terrified that @jamestalarico is gonna win this thing …

@admcrlsn Thanks for the context, I wondered about the timing.

If the Haley campaign was happy with these results, they probably would have proactively released it instead of waiting for another campaign to release their internal numbers.

More than a month old, no trend line, and still a statistical tie between all three candidates These results don’t necessarily run contrary to the McMorrow internal, they could easily be compatible when you take into account margin of sampling error & a month’s worth of movement
